Security Tool
Hash Generator
Generate MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 hashes. Everything runs locally - no data is sent to any server.
Secure Algorithms
SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 are cryptographically secure and recommended for integrity verification and security applications.
Deprecated Algorithms
MD5 and SHA-1 are considered broken for security purposes. Only use them for checksums or legacy compatibility.
Common Use Cases
- • File integrity: Verify downloads match expected checksums
- • Data deduplication: Identify duplicate files by comparing hashes
- • Password storage: Hash passwords before storing (use bcrypt/argon2 instead)
- • Digital signatures: Create fingerprints for signing documents
